________________________________________________________________________ NRO's Global IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey Shows IPv6 Gaining Traction ________________________________________________________________________ The results of the 2012 Global IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey are now available. Approximately 1430 respondents from 105 economies participated in this year's survey. The findings reveal that 77% of those respondents have some level of IPv6 presence, which indicates increased uptake from the previous year. The report explains in further detail that the "real" use of IPv6 has also grown at a faster rate from 2011-2012 than was found from results of the previous survey. The survey was funded by the NRO and the European Commission and conducted by GNKS Consult and TNO. The survey was prepared and carried out by TNO/GNKS in close collaboration with AFRINIC, APNIC, ARIN, Lacnic and the RIPE NCC. The full survey report is available at: www.nro.net/documents/2012-ipv6-survey-results

RIPE NCC Begins to Allocate IPv4 Address Space From the Last /8
by NRO Secretariat 17 Sep '12

17 Sep '12

Dear colleagues, On Friday, 14 September 2012, the RIPE NCC, the Regional Internet Registry (RIR) for Europe, the Middle East and parts of Central Asia, distributed the last blocks of IPv4 address space from the available pool. This means it is now distributing IPv4 address space to Local Internet Registries (LIRs) from the last /8 according to section 5.6 of "IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policies for the RIPE NCC Service Region". This section states that an LIR may receive one /22 allocation (1,024 IPv4 addresses), even if they can justify a larger allocation. This /22 allocation will only be made to LIRs if they have already received an IPv6 allocation from an upstream LIR or the RIPE NCC. No new IPv4 Provider Independent (PI) space will be assigned. This policy can be found online at: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-553 Those members with open requests for IPv4 address space will shortly receive an email regarding the status of their requests. It is now imperative that all stakeholders deploy IPv6 on their networks to ensure the continuity of their online operations and the future growth of the Internet. Regards, NRO Secretariat
